I have heard so many terrible stories about the devestation caused by hurricanes and tornados. Do you think one is more dangerous than the other? Has anyone ever expeienced a hurricane or tornado? How do you protect yourself from them if you don't evacuate the area?

I have never been in a hurricane or tornado, but I know someone that experienced a tornado. She said that she was in her car when it happened and was actually trying to outrun it. Thankfully, she made it home ok, but she was terrified by the expereince. Since then she listens to the radio for any tornado warnings and quickly moves to her basement for protection.
